Chapter 40 The Fall of the Superstar
It will be a matter of time before Lu Le and Lan Gang leave. Feng Yifeng and Lan Gang have a good relationship. In addition, Lan Gang has always regarded him as his nephew, so he is still a little reluctant to leave. He just wants to deepen his thoughts and get what causes and results they have to pay for their actions over the past 20 years.
None of these affected Feng Yifeng's good mood. He was still as close to Nannan as before. He accompanied her to go shopping, eat, took her to the Ocean Park, to the Victoria Park, and enjoyed a rare and wonderful time.
In Feng's garden, Feng Yifeng was still sitting leisurely on the rocking chair, eating the grapes that Nannan had peeled for him, but there was still a Wenxiu who massaged and made tea around him, and she was always lacking.
Zeng Zhiwei was wearing a jersey and sweating profusely ran in with a newspaper panting. Seeing Feng Yifeng who was enjoying it, he was a little angry, but he drank all the tea beside him in one sip, and picked up the grapes beside him and chewed them in his mouth.
"I said, what are you doing? When you come to my house, you will be so casual without even asking the master?" Feng Yifeng looked at the fat guy who was almost bursting with his jersey.
"Ho ho, you...Ho ho, have you read today's newspaper... the newspaper?" Zeng Zhiwei panted and asked, pointing to the newspaper that was almost as waste paper in his hand. Looking at his expression, it seemed that such a big deal had happened.
"Newspaper? Today's newspaper? I haven't read it yet. Grandpa took it to the teahouse for tea early in the morning. What big thing happened? It's not that your youth army won the championship, right?" He didn't look at the newspaper in Zeng Zhiwei's hand carefully, but even if he wanted to read it, he couldn't see it clearly. He was really unable to see a few words because Zeng Zhiwei's sweat and hands. "No! The finals seem to have not arrived yet. Since it's not about the competition, why are you so nervous to do?"
"It's not a competition. Something big happened, but something really happened." Finally, he breathed breath and shouted at the portrait in the newspaper.
Nannan snatched the newspaper with one hand, but the portrait on it was basically impossible to see clearly, only a few big words "Bruce Lee" next to it could see clearly. "Oh! It's about Bruce Lee, I've known it a long time ago. Didn't he come back to Hong Kong to prepare for a new film [Death Game]? Did it finish the filming so soon?" He pulled Feng Yifeng's sleeve and said, "Feng, I want to go see Bruce Lee, should you take me to watch it?"
"Okay, if you want to watch it, go and see it. I'll see when the newspaper will be released. I'll take you to see it." Feng Yifeng never said that he would never go against Nannan. Besides, he also likes Bruce Lee very much. Although he is not Feng Yifeng's idol, Feng Yifeng believes that his achievements in the film industry are unmatched.
"What else can I see? I won't see it anymore. Bruce Lee died last night." Zeng Zhiwei shouted in a furious voice. He was very disgusted with Feng Yifeng and Nannan's romance at this time. "Last night, Bruce Lee died at Ding Pei's home. It was a big deal early this morning. Many people ran to Ding Pei's home to find out. They all came out of the newspaper and said that the cause of death has not been found yet. There are all kinds of speculations. Some said that they were killed by others, some said that they were exhausted, and some said that they died of heart disease after excessive practice. The most outrageous thing is that some tabloids said that he died suddenly while having a foul play with Ding Pei. Finally, there are all kinds of things and everything."
"What, what did you say?" Feng Yifeng was a little disbelief and snatched the newspaper from Nannan's hand. However, after their scramble, the newspaper was torn apart at once. He could only barely see the words "Bruce Lee died suddenly at the age of 34."
Feng Yifeng likes to watch movies, and Hong Kong movies and Hollywood movies are the ones who watch the most. Bruce Lee is a kung fu star Feng Yifeng likes very much in his previous life and this life. He has been filming kung fu movies in Hong Kong for decades, starting from Bruce Lee to later Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Donnie Yen, etc. Perhaps these people may not be worse than Bruce Lee in kung fu, but in terms of being popular and respected by world movie fans, there is only one Bruce Lee.
Due to the different cultures, it is difficult for Westerners to accept the Chinese style. But Bruce Lee is an exception. He is widely respected in the West because he not only has superb martial arts skills, but also has the philosophical spirit of martial arts. Until the 70th anniversary of his birth, many guild halls with Bruce Lee as the master were still distributed all over the world. They generally follow Lee's martial arts thoughts and divide Kung Fu into three levels: one is thought, the second is kung fu knowledge, and the third is skills. Thoughtful fists create his extraordinaryness.
--If knowledge follows the traditional model, you can only survive in the shadow of tradition. All you know is the old way, and you don’t know yourself.
-- It is also a manifestation of courage when you regard something as worthless or as natural; it is also a manifestation of courage when you regard something as absolute success or as natural; but if you are helpless in something, you are shrunk. The same is true for the enemy. Just encourage yourself with confidence, even if you fail, you will still be victorious in spirit.
--- Others told me that a genius can create his own opportunities. In fact, a person’s deep expectations can not only create his own opportunities, but also create his own genius.
---I will never say that I am the number one in the world, but I will never admit that I am the number one.
-- Only when a person has self-esteem can he clearly "guid" himself to move towards the right path. Therefore, people should constantly maintain their dignity, which can explore their potential and promote their work results. Not only that, we should repeatedly estimate our potential every day to see if there is any increase.
--- Sometimes, dignity is not easy to obtain. For certain benefits, all dignity may be abandoned; or for the sake of false reputation, dignity will be ignored. To sum up, what people in the world are generally enthusiastic about is seeking fame and reputation. It is not enough to seek fame or arrogance, so the first major thing in life is to understand yourself.
These are the essence of Bruce Lee's philosophy and philosophical spirit, and are also the most profound sayings that Feng Yifeng often uses to alert himself. But such an ideal legendary figure died bizarrely in bed.
Indeed, Bruce Lee's death was quite shocking to the Hong Kong film industry. For a time, major movie stars went to the Lee family to express their condolences. The news of Bruce Lee's death also spread across the ocean with the telephone and radio waves, and reached the country where he became famous - the United States. For a time, (Los Angeles Times), (Holly Living Star Weekly), (Black Belt) and other newspapers and magazines put the news of Bruce Lee's death on the front page at the first time, which made many people who like him feel sorry for it.
After Zeng Zhiwei came to Feng’s house to report Bruce Lee’s death, he stayed in the house all day and didn’t go anywhere. Not only did he eat free, he also occupied the rocking chair that originally belonged to Feng Yifeng. After lunch, he lay wherever he was covering the shade of the trees and enjoyed the coolness brought by the summer breeze.
Feng Yifeng didn't care, but he was very strange. He took a cup of green tea and asked, "I said, Fatty, didn't your dad go to Taiwan? I thought you would follow him after graduation, so why are you still staying in Hong Kong? Now that you have joined the Hong Kong Youth Football Army, are you going to be a professional player in the future?" Although Feng Yifeng is quite clear about Zeng Zhiwei's future journey in the entertainment industry, he was not very clear about his youth.
He bit a big apple and said in a slight manner, "I'm not going to Taiwan? My Mandarin is not good, what can I do when I go there? My dad went to Taiwan for refuge, and I didn't do anything, so there was no need to go to Taiwan. You see, I'm not very good now, playing football is my hobby. Now I'm training every day, aren't the game very good? It's both sufficient and meaningful."
"Just like it. As long as you do what you like, no matter how difficult the road ahead will be, you will not give up easily. Only by moving forward bravely will you achieve your goal one day." Feng Yifeng's eyes gradually became blurred. He remembered all the money he had, but his life was not happy. With money, he lacked family, love, and friendship. All he left was the legacy composed of many numbers. Will his parents feel good? He no longer knew these, and there was no need to know them. He just needed to live meaningful life in this life, retrieve everything he lost in the previous life, and live a fulfilling life was enough.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. What's the hardships of playing football? At most, it's more powerful. It's inevitable that I'll get a little bit of a serious impact. But I've had a new idea recently, but I haven't made up my mind yet. You know, my dad doesn't care much about me. I don't want to discuss it with someone. You usually have a lot of ideas. Please help me think if it's feasible." Zeng Zhiwei seemed to be unable to eat enough. How long has it been after lunch? Now he was talking to Feng Yifeng while eating, and Feng Yifeng had already eaten two apples, a banana, and a bunch of grapes. However, after the food he ate became nutrition, he developed horizontally. He hasn't seen him grow taller for several years.
"If you have new ideas, just say it. Usually you have a new idea every few days, but this idea is usually imaginative and has no possibility of realization."
"Don't say that, isn't I trying that industry that is the most suitable for me? Playing football is my hobby, but playing football cannot be played for the rest of my life, so I want to find a job that suits me the most." I swallowed the last bite of banana and drank the tea that Nannan made, and said: "I want to make a movie. Since I saw Bruce Lee's popularity, I also want to learn from him, be sought after by thousands of movie fans, and be respected and loved by movie fans. But I don't know how hard I have or do any acting skills, which is what I most troubled."
"Haha!" Feng Yifeng had to laugh. Everyone's historical process was still moving towards their original goals, and there was no change because of his existence. Zeng Zhiwei still liked movies except football.
"Just like it yourself. You forgot what I said. As long as it is something you like, you will be motivated to do it. Don't force yourself to do it as much as possible. As your friend, I will definitely support you with all my strength. Although I don't know how to plan and shoot except for watching, I will do my best if I need help."
"Haha! I knew you were brothers enough. Now I wasn't busy, I didn't know anything. After playing this final, I was going to see who needed someone on the set. I would learn slowly and I would definitely become a big star like Bruce Lee in the future." Zeng Zhiwei has begun to intoxicate his imagination after becoming a big star.
